Method And Apparatus For Stabilizing Pulsed Microwave Amplifiers

US Patent:
5182524, Jan 26, 1993
Filed:
Mar 10, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/850456
Inventors:
Donald B. Hopkins - Sacramento CA
Assignee:
The Regents of the University of Calif. - Oakland CA
International Classification:
H03F 132
US Classification:
330149
Abstract:
Phase and amplitude variations at the output of a high power pulsed microwave amplifier arising from instabilities of the driving electron beam are suppressed with a feed-forward system that can stabilize pulses which are too brief for regulation by conventional feedback techniques. Such variations tend to be similar during successive pulses. The variations are detected during each pulse by comparing the amplifier output with the low power input signal to obtain phase and amplitude error signals. This enables storage of phase and amplitude correction signals which are used to make compensating changes in the low power input signal during the following amplifier output pulse which suppress the variations. In the preferred form of the invention, successive increments of the correction signals for each pulse are stored in separate channels of a multi-channel storage. Sequential readout of the increments during the next pulse provides variable control voltages to a voltage controlled phase shifter and voltage controlled amplitude modulator in the amplifier input signal path.
